When Youre Not Around Lyrics by Joe Jackson

When Youre Not Around Lyrics

    You come into my life
    And then you go away
    You make me feel like a fool
    For wanting you to stay
    But i'm a busy guy
    A lot of things to do
    But there's a reason why
    Some of them just seem to lose their flavor

    I feel like death warmed up
    I can't taste the coffee in my cup
    I feel so low i'm underground
    Every time you're not around

    And if i didn't feel so high
    And if i didn't feel so proud
    Then i wouldn't cry
    I wouldn't feel so down
    When you're not around

    You come and fill me up
    With ecstasy and pain
    And then i run on empty
    'til i see you again
    But i've got things to do
    And places i can go
    I guess i can't blame you
    If some of them just seem to feel like nowhere

    No, i don't feel so great
    I can't taste the sandwich on my plate
    I try to sing but there's no sound
    Every time you're not around

    And if i didn't feel so high
    And if i didn't feel so proud
    Then i wouldn't cry
    I wouldn't feel so down
    When you're not around
